This paper describes the latest addition to the STARS system of computer programs, STARS-2P, for the plastic, large deflection analysis of axisymmetrically loaded shells of revolution. The STARS system uses a numerical integration scheme to solve the governing differential equations. Several unique features for shell of revolution programs that are included in the STARS-2P program are described. These include orthotropic nonlinear kinematic hardening theory, a variety of shell wall cross sections and discrete ring stiffeners, cyclic and nonproportional mechanical and thermal loading capability, the coupled axisymmetric large deflection elasto-plastic torsion problem, an extensive restart option, arbitrary branching capability, and the provision for the inelastic treatment of smeared stiffeners, isogrid, and waffle wall constructions. To affirm the validity of the results, comparisons with available theoretical and experimental data are presented.

Cyclic Plasticity Model

In order to simulate mechanical fatigue phenomena under macroscopically elastic condition, the plastic stretching within a yield surface has to be described, whilst the plastic strain is induced remarkably as the stress approaches the dominant yielding state. In this study, a phenomenological plasticity model, proposed for the description of the cyclic loading behavior observed for typical carbon steels during the high-cycle fatigue subjected to stresses lower than the yield stress, is applied for the prediction of fatigue initiation life. The model is formulated based on the unconventional plasticity model and is applied for materials obeying isotropic and kinematic hardening law. The mechanical responses under cyclic loading conditions are examined briefly. Finally, the initiation life of fatigue cracking is discussed based on the proposed model with the damage counting parameter.

Proportional Loading

This article deals with the multiphasic, anisothermal behaviour of 16MND5 steel under complex loading. We are focusing more specifically on the modelization of transformation plasticity induced by proportional or nonproportional biaxial loading during the bainitic transformation. A first part recalls Leblond's transformation plasticity model with or without hardening. We also describe the experimental setup used to get transformation plasticity tests under tension-torsion loadings. The last part deals with the TrIP models (with or without hardening) identification and their use for the nonproportional tests simulation.

High strength low alloy (HSLA) steels, used in a wide variety of applications as structural components are subjected to cyclic loading during their service lives. Understanding the cyclic deformation behavior of HSLA steels is of importance, since it affects the fatigue life of components. This paper combines experiments with finite element based simulations to develop a crystal plasticity model for prediction of the cyclic deformation behavior of HSLA-50 steels. The experiments involve orientation imaging microscopy (OIM) for microstructural characterization and mechanical testing under uniaxial and stress–strain controlled cyclic loading. The computational models incorporate crystallographic orientation distributions from the OIM data. The crystal plasticity model for bcc materials uses a thermally activated energy theory for plastic flow, self and latent hardening, kinematic hardening, as well as yield point phenomena. Material parameters are calibrated from experiments using a genetic algorithm based minimization process. The computational model is validated with experiments on stress and strain controlled cyclic loading. The effect of grain orientation distributions and overall loading conditions on the evolution of microstructural stresses and strains are investigated.

This paper presents finite element modelling of fretting wear under partial slip conditions using combined isotropic-kinematic hardening plasticity model with the emphasized to investigate the cyclic-plasticity behaviour predicted under fretting condition. The model is based on two-dimensional (2D) cylinder-on-flat contact configuration of titanium alloy, Ti-6Al-4V. A number of wear profiles at specific number of wear cycle (6000th, 60000th, 150000th and 300000th) are simulated. Contact pressure, tangential stress, shear stress, equivalent plastic strain, tangential plastic strain and also shear plastic strain are gathered and analysed. It is found that the plastic strain response of the combined isotropic-kinematic hardening plasticity model is slightly higher compare to linear kinematic hardening plasticity model [1].
